10 miles easy on the Illinois Mississippi River Trail. It's not as scenic as it sounds. It's back from the river a ways with river front property getting the priority. With so many trees and so much vegetation you only get occasional glimpses on the river. I took it super slow and easy trying to recover from yesterdays 10K, about 10:50 miles. I started at around 6am and it was already hot and muggy. I took plenty of water with me and was soaked from head to toe when I got back. I don't know if I could ever get used to this. I don't know how KP does it. I've got 16 to run tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm going to get up earlier this one, maybe I'll feel better after today's slow day.
